高考英語書面表達(dá)的應(yīng)試策略與技術(shù) 鄧 北 平 英語書面表達(dá)的寫作形式,表面看上去是寫信,寫日記等應(yīng)用文體,但實(shí)際的要求卻是完全不同的東西。通過對(duì)近年全國(guó)卷和地方卷中書面表達(dá)試題的分析研究, 我們認(rèn)為用敘事性質(zhì)、陳說性質(zhì)、議論性質(zhì)和混合性質(zhì)(陳說+議論性質(zhì)或敘事+議論性質(zhì))等概念來表述高考書面表達(dá)的這種特殊現(xiàn)象更科學(xué)、更規(guī)范。書面表達(dá)并不是實(shí)質(zhì)意義上的作文,而只是口語表達(dá)的書面形式! 這也就是說高考英語書面表達(dá)并非實(shí)質(zhì)性作文,它無需修辭,無需發(fā)散,無需升華,無需動(dòng)情,一言以蔽之,它僅具有作文的三個(gè)最原始的要求:切題,達(dá)意,邏輯。有些試題由于編制得過于謹(jǐn)慎,使得作文的控制性過大以至于如同翻譯,因而難度也隨著降低。但是對(duì)于北京試題和上海試題而言情況則有所不同,因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)寫作文體的要求略高于全國(guó)題和其他省市試題,權(quán)當(dāng)?shù)胤教厣? 就高考英語全國(guó)卷和地方卷而言,書面表達(dá)試題的地位舉足輕重,無論就其賦分還是實(shí)際難度,對(duì)于考生,可能是他們心中“永遠(yuǎn)的痛”,特別是想獲高分,往往更覺不可企及。根據(jù)我們對(duì)高考英語的深入而全面的研究,可以坦言:書面表達(dá)不足畏! 一、書面表達(dá)的語匯準(zhǔn)備 任何一篇文章都離不開篇章紐帶的起承轉(zhuǎn)合。尤其是高考英語書面表達(dá),盡管它不屬于真正意義上的作文,但作文的基本要素卻是不能缺乏的。因此,高分的關(guān)鍵和作文的出彩在于過渡詞(transitional words)恰到好處的運(yùn)用。牢記并自如地運(yùn)用過渡詞是每一位考生決勝高考的法寶。以下是書面表達(dá)中常用連詞分類舉例。 ▲舉例: for example, for instance, take…for example, such as, like, and so on,so on and so forth, and so on and on and on, etc.等。 ▲說明: that’s to say,in other words,namely,等。 ▲因果: so,for,therefore,as a result,thus,because,because of, thanks to…,owing to…, due to ……等。 ▲遞進(jìn): then,besides,in addition, furthermore,moreover, what’s more等。 ▲順序: firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally;in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly to begin with, then, furthermore, finally;to start with, next, in addition, finally; first and foremost, besides, last but not least;most important of all, moreover, finally(以上為時(shí)間順序) in the front of,in front of …, before, behind, at the back of, on the right/left(of),to the right /left of…,on the other side of …,in the center of …,in the middle of …,at the beginning of , at the end of …,by the side of …,on the top of …,at the foot of …,on the bottom of, inside,outside, upstairs, downstairs(以上為空間順序) ▲轉(zhuǎn)折: nevertheless, however, although, though, but,on the country,after all, oppositely等。 ▲總結(jié): in short, in a word, in general, generally speaking, finally,at last,as far as I know,in brief, briefly speaking, in the end, as a matter of fact, in reality, in fact, on the whole, in conclusion, on account of this, therefore等。 ▲強(qiáng)調(diào): really, indeed,certainly,surely,for sure, above all等。 ▲對(duì)比: in the same way,just as, in common with, compared with, on the one hand…on the other hand, for one thing… for another,similarly等。 ▲平行: and,both…and…,as well as,as well,neither…nor…or,either…or…,not only…but also…等。 二、書面表達(dá)的常考常用句型 在實(shí)際的英語寫作中,我們應(yīng)該掌握一些常用的句型以便在實(shí)戰(zhàn)中發(fā)揮作用。高考英語書面表達(dá)的句式基本上都是簡(jiǎn)單句,就是復(fù)合句也大都是極普通的常用句式或句型。先討論簡(jiǎn)單句的使用情況。所謂簡(jiǎn)單句式在英語中無非是三種基本句型及其擴(kuò)充。 一類是S.+V.+O.式,例如, ①I like English and computer best. (NMET1996) ②I started school from 1984 to 1990. (NMET1996) 二類是S.+V.+Adv.式,例如, ① My parents live in the country. (NMET1993) ②The other day my brother and I went to the cinema by bicycle. (NMET1997) 三類是S.+V.+Pre. 例如, ①M(fèi)y name is Li Hua. (NMET1996) ②The playground is now in front of the school. (NMET1999) ③It was 7:15 on the morning of February 8,2000. (NMET2000) 下面我們主要分析一下書面表達(dá)中部分復(fù)合句式,慣用句型與套語以及慣用結(jié)構(gòu)等。 高考英語書面表達(dá)中的復(fù)合句式多為帶時(shí)間狀語從句的復(fù)合句和帶賓語從句的復(fù)合句,其他如強(qiáng)調(diào)句型、帶定語從句的復(fù)合句、帶主語從句的復(fù)合句、 條件句、讓步或轉(zhuǎn)折的句式等, 也是常見常用??嫉膹?fù)合句形式。有些復(fù)合句式幾乎年年都考。復(fù)合句雖可化簡(jiǎn),但就一篇文章而言,若全是簡(jiǎn)單句,無一復(fù)合句或難句起采,難見考生功力,得高分就不容易了。所以,該用復(fù)合句或難句表現(xiàn)的,而且自信沒什么問題,就應(yīng)大膽寫出來, 考生切記。 1. 帶時(shí)間狀語從句的復(fù)合句 ①Before we knew it, we had to say good-bye to the workers. (NMET1998) ②In short, things have begun to improve since schools were called on to reduce learning load. (NMET2001) ③As we got into a forest, we lost out way.(北京2002) ④It’s also possible a pickpocket stole your money while you were shopping. (2004北京卷) ⑤When I was about to play football, I saw mom washing clothes for me. (2004重慶卷) ⑥By the time mom came back, I had finished the work. (2004重慶卷) ⑦Soon after I started, a friend came and invited me to play football with him.(2004重慶卷) ⑧As the snatcher was running past him, the old man quickly picked up his umbrella and put it between the snatcher’s legs. (2004遼寧卷) 這類時(shí)間狀語從句不僅考得頻繁,而且連詞when, while, as, before, after甚至by the time都考到了,時(shí)態(tài)上現(xiàn)在時(shí)、過去時(shí)、過去進(jìn)行時(shí)和過去完成時(shí)等都出現(xiàn)了。而且有些年份帶時(shí)間狀語從句的復(fù)合句還同時(shí)出現(xiàn)多次。因此我們建議廣大考生應(yīng)加強(qiáng)訓(xùn)練這類復(fù)合句,在高考中盡量少犯錯(cuò)誤。 2. 帶賓語從句的復(fù)合句 ①I think this is a good chance for you to show your singing talent, and how well you’ve learned Chinese. (NMET2004, I) ②I’m sure we’ll have a wonderful time and enjoy each other’s company.(NMET2004, II) ③I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on American history tomorrow afternoon. (NMET2004, III) ④I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? (NMET2004, III) ⑤I’m so pleased to learn that you and your classmates are learning Chinese. (2004浙江卷) ⑥Please let me know if you want me to buy these dictionaries. (2004浙江卷) ⑦Some of them think that English learning should start from childhood. (2004湖北卷) ⑧I would also think that the growth population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future. (2004江蘇卷) 3. 帶定語從句的復(fù)合句 ①The flat is in a building on Fangcao Street, which is not far from Jianxin Chinese School. (NMET2003) ②If there is anything I can do for you, I would be more than glad to help. (NMET2004, I) ③People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. (NMET2002) ④As is shown on Chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities. (2004北京卷) ⑤So the missing money still must be in the other jacket, the one you were wearing yesterday! (2004北京卷) 4. 其他 ▲強(qiáng)調(diào)句型 It was our brave Ah Fu who had saved my little sister. (NMET1993) ▲帶主語從句的復(fù)合句 ①Here is how you can find us. (NMET1995) ②On the other side, where the playground used to be now stands another new building—our library. (NMET1999) ▲so that句型: ①I became so impatient that I had to go to explain my difficulty. (2004廣東卷) ②I am so sorry that I won’t be able to …. tomorrow afternoon. (NMET2004, III) ③I would also think that the growth population should be brought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future. (2004江蘇卷) ④The noise was so loud that I couldn’t go on studying. (2004廣東卷) ▲讓步或轉(zhuǎn)折: ①It was hard for me, but I felt it a pleasure to be able to share housework with mom. (2004重慶卷) ②I don’t know about others, but I used to have to work even at weekends doing homework and attending classes as well. (NMET2001) ③Although the city is modern and convenient, there are still some problems, such as air pollution, crowdedness and noise. (2004湖南卷) ④I know the school will organize a lot of things for you to do in the morning, but in the afternoon, I’ll show you around and take you to some places of interest. (NMET2004, II) ▲條件句: ①If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time, it will be very easy for them to mix them up.(2004湖北卷) ②If you would like to try, you’ ll have to go to the TV station to sign up before the end of June. (NMET2004, I) ③If there is anything I can do for you, I would be more than glad to help. (NMET2004, I) 三.書面表達(dá)開頭和結(jié)尾的寫作 1.書面表達(dá)的開頭 俗話說萬事開頭難。其實(shí),一點(diǎn)也不難。高考英語書面表達(dá)的開頭句一般已為你寫好。你要做的是分段縮進(jìn)重起第二段。注意千萬不要接著已寫好的首句。一是不美觀,二是不便于閱卷老師細(xì)覽。那么你的起頭句實(shí)際上是第二段了。開始句根據(jù)要求一般可以寫的漂亮一點(diǎn),即要用一些好的套語開始。比如:⑧⑧ ①Opinions are divided on the question. (NMET2002) ②Chart 1 shows the daily average amount of time the students of the school spend on different after-class activities. (2004北京卷) ③As is shown on Chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities.(2004北京卷) ④Although the city is modern and convenient, there are still some problems, such as air pollution, crowdedness and noise.(2004湖南卷) ⑤My parents and I are very pleased to have you with us.(2004全國(guó)卷I) ⑥I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on American history tomorrow afternoon. (2004全國(guó)卷III) 可是很多考生總在開頭處寫的不盡如人意,總喜歡搞一些生造的句子或詞語來開頭,這是一大忌。有些開頭可以以套語開始,或以俗語開始比較有力,這樣就容易被老師看好。檔位在開始時(shí)就已定得很高了?,F(xiàn)以2004湖北卷書面表達(dá)試題的開始句為例看考生的千奇百怪的錯(cuò)誤: ①Some students agreed start learning English from childhood. ②Some students think: we should learn English from childhood. Because of we have a good memory in childhood. ③Some students considered it’s useless to slart learning English from childhood. ④One group thought its necessary to start learning English from child. ⑤In some students opinion, we shall start learning English from childhood. ⑥Some of students considered that children at their ages had a good memory… 2.書面表達(dá)的結(jié)尾:⑦⑧ 結(jié)尾在書面表達(dá)的寫作中占有很重要的地位,通常結(jié)尾都要算一個(gè)內(nèi)容要求,所以,寫好結(jié)尾且讓閱卷老師有一個(gè)完整的印象是十分必要的。好的結(jié)尾可以是一段,由一句或幾句話組成,能使全文增色。例如: ①If there is anything I can do for you, I would be more than glad to help.( 2004全國(guó)卷I) ②It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and learn what is covered in the talk. (2004全國(guó)卷III) ③What’s more, some statues of famous people will be set up to encourage us to work harder. Don’t you think it a wonderful program? (2004福建卷) ④Please let me know if you want me to buy these dictionaries. (2004浙江卷) ⑤By the time mom came back, I had finished the work. Mom praised me, and I felt proud too. (2004重慶卷) ⑥In short, the students have not arrived at any agreement yet.(2004湖北卷) 但是,在實(shí)際的操作中,許多考生卻不知如何來結(jié)尾,原本一、兩句話或極少的表達(dá)就可很圓滿地完成寫作任務(wù),往往又旁生枝節(jié),寫上一些廢話,甚至錯(cuò)話,結(jié)果因表達(dá)不當(dāng)又被扣分。以2004年湖北卷書面表達(dá)試題考生的錯(cuò)誤為例,可以看出很多考生是吃力不討好的。結(jié)尾中主要的錯(cuò)誤體現(xiàn)在不必要的累贅和廢話上面: ▲結(jié)尾的枝節(jié)(不必要的累贅) ①In a word, the discussion is broken.. ②In my opinion, the students should enjoy free, sunshine, flowers, the walks in the beauty of the countryside not except the studying. ③Though they have two different kinds of opinions about this discussion, but they are very friendly in this discussion. ▲廢話 ①The discuss meeting didn’t again a same result. ②What do you think, can you tell me. ③The discussion didn’t get a conclusion. What’s your opinion? 四.書面表達(dá)的寫作過程 書面表達(dá)并非作文,只是“書面”的“表達(dá)”而已,因此只須說清楚寫清楚就行。考生必須明白書面表達(dá)應(yīng)有四道“工序”,即:審題、草稿、謄正和核對(duì)。 1. 審題要多心 高考書面表達(dá)試題一般會(huì)以圖畫、圖表、提綱、文字?jǐn)⑹龅刃问匠霈F(xiàn),但不管是什么形式,第一要求就是弄清題目的意圖,寧可多話點(diǎn)時(shí)間在審題上,也總比看錯(cuò)題答跑題強(qiáng)百倍。然后就是要確定要點(diǎn)內(nèi)容,理出寫作的順序,規(guī)劃段落內(nèi)容的分配,全文的大致邏輯框架,關(guān)聯(lián)詞的選用,套語與常規(guī)句型的選用。應(yīng)該在心中有一個(gè)大致的漢語架構(gòu),若能建立英語的寫作架構(gòu)則為上佳。 2.草稿要細(xì)心 在整個(gè)草稿的寫作過程中,應(yīng)該不時(shí)地觀察內(nèi)容要點(diǎn),以防漏掉要點(diǎn),即使是草稿也要一絲不茍認(rèn)真地書寫,這不僅是習(xí)慣,而且在謄正過程中還會(huì)減少錯(cuò)誤。時(shí)間順序是否得當(dāng)?空間順序是否得體?時(shí)態(tài)語態(tài)是否一致?關(guān)聯(lián)詞的與全文的邏輯關(guān)系是否清楚?開頭句與結(jié)尾部分寫的得如何?有否低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤等等? 3.謄正要小心 謄正在某種意義上講還有修改、潤(rùn)色的意思,因此,它并不是單純的和機(jī)械地抄錄草稿,有鑒于此,我們就應(yīng)該特別地小心,認(rèn)真的將每一句話謄正并不斷在心中掂量,以求達(dá)到完美的寫作要求。另外,對(duì)于大詞的選用既要大膽,又要準(zhǔn)確生動(dòng)傳神,否則就失去了寫難句和用大詞的意義。盡管我們并不太主張遍地是難句和較高級(jí)詞匯,但我們也決不愿意看到完全不用好句子來表達(dá)好的思想的文章。 4. 核對(duì)要耐心 作文的核對(duì)與起草同樣重要,甚至更應(yīng)引起考生的關(guān)注,稍一粗心即會(huì)導(dǎo)致大錯(cuò)而失分。核對(duì)的內(nèi)容應(yīng)包括以下幾點(diǎn): (1)名詞問題:數(shù)、格、形式、是否需要冠詞、代詞等。 (2)動(dòng)詞問題:時(shí)態(tài)、語態(tài)、語氣 (3)一致:主謂、人稱、數(shù) (4)形容詞副詞的等級(jí)形式,介詞搭配 (5)句子完整與否?(是否有漏詞、多詞、缺主語或謂語等現(xiàn)象) (6)有無生造的詞組或句型?遣詞達(dá)意與否?是否得體? 5.書面表達(dá)的寫作規(guī)范 字:字體一致; 字色為簽字筆的黑色; 字跡工整少用連筆; 字形占格子的三分之二大小,忌寫在格子的線條上。 分段: 最好三段,至少兩段。不接著給出行寫,另外起段,縮進(jìn)兩格,不可頂格分段。 版面: 整潔、爽目。忌超格,污記,涂黑等。若必須更改,可將錯(cuò)詞括起來,再于其上更正。若為十行格,可寫滿,每行十一詞左右。若十二行格,亦可寫滿,每行十詞左右。 篇章紐帶: 使用必要的篇章紐帶可使文章看起來讀起來更象英文,避免漢味的生硬和粗糙。 |
